New York Special
The secret-service officials in New York during

terfsting money. OF these twenty-four were
convicted and nine acquitted. Chief Brooks, of
the Secret-service Bureau, in his annual report
states that 433 persons were arrested in the United
States for manufacturing, dealing In and cir
culating counterfeit coin, bills and bonds during
the past year. OF this number 248 were arrest
ed for passing counterfeit coin. Is passing bogus
notes and Is for manufacturing. The work Of
the department has extended over all sections
were convicted and sentenced. Out of those
who were arrested 40 pleaded guilty and received
sentence, and 80 indicted persons are awaiting
trials
In his report Chief Brooks states that the East
twelve months have been prolific in counterfeits
In the South 500 counterfeit silver certificate
of the series Of 1880 appeared, but the work was
poor that little damage was done, and the
criminals were arrested. Next was a photo
graphic counterfeit SIS bill on the First National
Bank of New Beford, Mass Then came the So
and So notes of $780, These notes were in
the hands of Italians A neat SIS note on the
Central National Bank, of Norwalk, Conn, was
discovered, and the counterfeiters were arrested.
In Canada an attempt was made to circulate q
500 note of the Mohawk Valley Bank, of Mo-
hawk. N. Y, but the counterfeiters were ar
rested before any were put in circulation, and
are now awaiting trial. Chief Brooks states
further that it is remarkable fact that there
more Italians engaged in the manufacture
of counIerfeits than any other nationality.

The year comes draped in feecy lace
Antique as is the frost;
And tangled shreds of lev threads
Upon the trees are tossed
Till only grace the eye may trace.
And barren lines arc lost.
A thousand ghosts of flowers fe
Tho drifted garden shows;
The while | look in yonder nook
Blossoms a mimic rose;
For the winds have spread each fiaky bed
And sown them with the SHOWS.
Such marvels rare the days reveal,
And such fantastic dreams
The magic night weaves into white,
That all the landscape seems
A realm unreal, where genii steal
Through scintillating CLEANS.

STONES LAID IN BLOOD.
CHASTITY Practices of Ancient Scandinavian
and North German Builders.

CHASTITY Practices of Ancient Scandinavian
and North German Builders.
Here is CHASTITY story, given by Thieie
in his "Danish Folk Tales" says writer
in the Cor7,1tW Magazine: Many years ago
when the ramparts were being raiset
round Copenhagen, the wall always sank,
so that it was not possible to get it to
stand firm They therefore took a little,
innocent girl, placed her IN chair by
table, and gave her play-things and
sweetmeats. While she sat thus enjoy
ing herself, twelve masons built an arch
over her, which, whel completed, they
covered with earth, to the sound of drums
and trumpets By this process the walls
were made solid. When, few years ago,
the bridge gate of the Bremen city walls
was demolished, the skeleton of child
was found imbedded in the founda-
tions. Heinrich Hene says on this sub
iect: SIN the middle ages the opinion
prevailed that when any building was to
be erected something living must be
killed, in the blood of which the founda-
tion had to be laid, by which process the
building would be secured from falling;
and in ballads and traditions the remem-
brance is still preserved how children an
animals were slaughtered for the purpos
of Strengthening large buildings with
their blood" The story of the walls OF
Copenhagen comes to US only as tradi-
tion, but the horrible truth must be told
that in all probab bility it is no invention of
the fancy, but fact We have an allusion
to this custom in the British History" Of
Godfrey of Monmouth, who relates how
Vortgern was building a castle, when the
foundations sank. Then he consulted wise
men, and they told him that he must
lay fatherless boy under them, and 50
only could they be made to stand.
Throughout Norway, Sweden, Denmark
and North Germany tradition associates
some animal yith every church, and it
goes by the name of the kirk. grim. These
are the goblin apparitions of the beasts
that were buried under the foundation
stones of the churches. 1t is the same in
Devonshire-the writer will rot say at the
present day, but certainly forty or fifty
years ago. Indeed, when he was boy h,
drew up list of the kirk-grims thai
haunted the neighboring parishes. To the
church of the parish in which he lived be-
longed two white sows yoked together
with silver chain; to another a blac!
dog; to a third ghostly calf; to fourth
a white lamb.

A Squaw's Matrimonial Experien ce.

Six years ago Nancy Wacaconah, a good

hundred acres of land which she owned.
Several offers followed the publication Of
the advertisement, and she chose Charles
Hall, thoroughly worthless fellow, who,
as soon as they were married, began to
spend her money and abuse her. Now
Nancy, her money being all gone and her
husband having deserted her, is suing for
a divorce,
